The Bar HarbOr Water Question.

From the New York Tribune, March l.
The Maine legislature is agitated over the
question of a new water company for Bar
Harbor If the members Of that respectable
BODY will listen to the New York visitors who
spend their time and their money at Bar Har
Dor every summer, they will permit the new
company to 90 forward and give plenty of
good water. As Maine, by her prohlbitory
law, shoItens the supply of other drinkabies
for her visitors, she is certainly under a
peculiar obligation to give them all the water
they want. 1t will be pretty hard, particu-
larry upon the wine bibbers who are apt to
form considerable element in the popua-
ton of any such summer resort as Bar Har-
Dor, il the Maine legislature, after cutting
off their accustomed beverages, shall only
permit them to have even water as it is doled
out to them by native of Maine name 4
Rodick For lack of an adequate water sup
ply one Of the cottagers says that the house
holders at Bar Harbor every year pay in
extra insurance an amount which would be
fair interest on the cost of good water works.

BY the Same Token.

Our esteemed Republican evolulionist
contemporary the st. Louis Giobc-
Democrat says:
"The American people decided in
1860, after many years of patient for
bearance, that they would no longer be
governed by a party that had its prnci-
pal strength in the South, with Just
enough of northern assistance to give 1t
a majority"
But time makes all things even. BY
the same token it would appear that the
American people decided in 1884, after
many years of patient forbearance, that
they would no longer be governed by a
party that had it's whole strength in the
North save, when as in 1876, it stole
enough southern States to give it ma
jority and tried to justify the larce ny 10y
claiming that all the negroes were Re
publicans. As o consequence we are a
nation again, and have signally rebuked
the declaration of the Republican party,
which has no parallel in the matter OF
presumption, save in the resolution OF
the three tailors of Toolcy street.

with other strong proof, Jed to her arrest
and Imprisonment. The coroner Jury

The matter is undergoing a most rigid
investigation. and the town authorities

The New York 7ObQcco LeQt, in dis
cussing the question of the repeal Of the
internal-revenue tax on tobacco, says ::
alt is almost certain that the large
manufacturers viii. when Congress con-
yenes, advocate the continuance OF the
tax on tobacco. That this is the posi-
ton of the Charge manufacturers af-
lords one of the strongest reasons why
the tobacco tax should be repealed. Not
the least reprehensible feature of the
tax Is that it fosters monopoly. 1t not
only keeps men OF moderate means from
engaging in the manufacture OF tobacco,
but operates to the detriment of the
planter in that it places the market in
the power of comparatively few per
sons. The 706QccO LCQj says further,
however, that it does not clearly ap-
pear at this time what is to be the out
como OF the present agitation on this
uever-ending topic that it is certain
that Congress has only 10 be authorita-
lively asked to repeal these taxes and
they will be repealed, and adds:
"To solve the riddle, We suggest a
convention Of all parties in interest
representative growers, manufacturers Of
tobacco and cigars. and cigarmakers-
70 be- held in Washington some day IN
January ensuing 10 discuss, resolve, and
report what is desired TO Congress"
And what would be the result OF a
convention 1t would be dominated by
the pleading manufacturers of the
North, where little or no tobacco is
raised, aud We would have at Washing
ipgton just such lobby in the interest
OF the continuance OF the tax as we had
there when the subject Of repeal was
first agitated. As for an authori-
tative request, it has already been
made in the most emphatic man
ner, seeing that outside Of the
"large manufacturers the sentiment of
those most interested is almost uDaDi-
nous for abolition. On q question of
this character the sentiment OF the ma-
